1987 Plymouth Horizon review from North America
"What you need to get around, just not in style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The hatch does not stay open by itself.
The driver's side front and rear doors have some trouble opening sometimes.
Had to replace the carburetor.
Burns a little bit of oil, but for the year of the car and the miles, it is not too bad.
General comments?
I drive a 1993 Pontiac Sun bird Convertible and got this little Plymouth simply to use as a winter car. It's a 1987 without a spec of rust, the paint on it has faded and black looks more like Grey.
This car gets you where you need to be, you can trust it and it's great on gas.
It's has lots of room inside considering how small the car is.
This is the perfect car for what I needed it for: To drive around in the city during the winter.
Starts like a charm (if you know how to use a carburetor engine). Really an all around good car, it's not the kind of car you can race with or make it look all sporty, just to use to get to point A, then point B.
It's the same kind of car they had in "Wayne's World", so it's gotta be kinda cool! Just crank up some queen on your two crackling speakers and you can be just like the movie.
